4worldlovers: Manorun Organic Farm is a family run farm set on the outskirts of Hamilton in Copetown, Ontario — just a short 5 minute drive from Ancaster and Dundas. Chris Krucker and Denise Trigatti, alongside their four children, have been farming organically here for 25 years, offering organic vegetables through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). Working to mitigate climate change is a large priority at our farm. Some of our climate change impacts include; growing trees to store carbon, increasing the amount of carbon that is in our soils and using human power as much as possible. We have moved the farm away from a monocrop and pesticide reliant system towards a more natural one called an Oak Savannah. The advantage of growing food using the savannah is that natural eco systems thrive. Soil fertility is built up through deep rooted plants, swales lined with trees act as a water source and a home for pollinators and wildlife, and food is produced on multiple layers — you can read more about our Oak Savannah here. We believe that through the Oak Savannah and other regenerative agricultural practices we can rebuild our organic matter, increase biodiversity, which in turn provides us with more nutrient-dense crops.

4worldlovers: This land is on the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation territory as well as the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Neutral peoples. This land lies within the Between the Lakes Treaty 3 Lands

All our fresh produce has been certified organic since 2008 and is currently certified by CSI.

3 orchards combine tree fruit with small fruits, herbs, flowers, and native plants.

We strive to find a balance of hands-on and hands-off – allowing nature to provide some of the plants in her own good time.

Most of the soil is under permanent ground cover, with a few strips within the orchards cultivated for annuals.

We use on- farm, plant based mulches for soil and plant health as well as moisture retention.

There is a mature hedgerow that spans the north side of the farm, as well as a few hedgerow “pockets” between the orchards. In 2016 we started placing more native trees, shrubs and plants around and within the orchards. We believe abundant biodiversity strengthens the health and productivity of the fruit producing trees and shrubs.

Alex and Betty Kozowyk started farming in Flamborough in 1953. Their farm was a mix of cattle, chickens, pasture, hay fields, raspberries, vegetables for the family, and flowers for beauty and the hummingbirds. A few acres of the provincially significant, Flamborough Centre Swamp was also included in the farm.

In 2002 Pat Kozowyk and Ernst von der Kall bought a 10 acre portion of the farm. They named it Baba Link Farm, in memory of Pat’s mother, “Baba” Betty. Baba is Ukrainian for Grandmother.

The logo for the farm is based on an Ukrainian folk art design, and is a little like the Bobolink birds that sang all summer in the pasture.

Baba Link Farm is situated where Betty grew excellent raspberries, which she grew without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. She was organic, years before organic standards came into being.

Alex Kozowyk quietly smiled, occasionally shook his head at some of Pat’s experimental ideas for the farm, but always offered a tremendous amount of support and expertise.

Both Alex and Betty are dearly missed and remembered daily on this beautiful piece of land.

Flowers are an important part of the farm, for plant biodiversity and pollinator health.
